The following will explain the embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to the above steps.
Taking a home air-conditioning control environment as an example, after an air conditioner in a room is turned on, the air conditioner can be directly controlled to turn on a comfort intelligent control mode, the comfort intelligent control mode can be an optional control mode of the air conditioner, and the control mode set in the air conditioner can include, but is not limited to, the comfort intelligent control mode.
After the comfort intelligent control mode is started, information such as the number of users, the positions of the users and the like in the space where the air conditioner is located (namely, the adjusted preset area) can be quickly acquired.
Step S102, determining the number of users in a preset area and the user position of each user in the space where the air conditioner is located.
If the air conditioner is used in a home air conditioning environment, the user is a family member or a related member related to the family member. In determining the number of users in the preset area and the user location of each user, a number of ways may be used to determine: 1. shooting area images in a preset area by using an image shooting device, and analyzing the area images (for example, analyzing the area images by using an image analysis model) to obtain the number of users; establishing an air conditioner polar coordinate system by taking an air conditioner as a center, scanning a preset area by using microwave radar scanning equipment, and determining the user position (including a coordinate position and a current posture) of each user; 2. sensing the position of a user and the number of all users by using a sensing module (the sensing module is matched with a floor) laid on the ground; 3. and sensing the position and the number of users by using an infrared sensing module or a radar module arranged in each piece of furniture or electric appliance.
The preset area includes but is not limited to: bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms, kitchens, etc. The air volume adjusted for different areas may be different, for example, in a kitchen, if a user is cooking, the generated temperature may be higher, the air volume and the wind power can be increased in real time, and the comfort level of the user during cooking can be ensured.
After the number of the users is determined, if the number of the users is only one, the air outlet parameters can be automatically adjusted according to the historical use habits of the users; if the number of the users is larger than or equal to two, the user identity of each user needs to be determined, the comfort level of each user is detected in real time, and the air outlet parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted based on the comfort level.
And step S104, identifying the user identity of each user, and inquiring the user information corresponding to the user based on the user identity.
As an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of identifying the user identity of each user and querying the user information corresponding to the user based on the user identity includes: acquiring a second image of each user, wherein the second image is an image obtained by directly photographing each user; comparing the second image with each standard image in the image database to determine the user identity of each user; based on the user identity of each user, user information of each user is queried.
In the embodiment of the invention, a second image of each user can be acquired through the image sensor. Of course, the gesture and the body characteristics of the user can be recognized through the preset sensor or the microwave radar module, so that the user identity of the user can be determined.
Optionally, the user information includes at least one of: gender, age, health status.
During detection, the initial comfort level of each user and information such as the position, sex, age and the like of the user can be determined, and intelligent control is further achieved.
And step S106, calculating the user comfort level of each user based on the user identity and the user information.
In an alternative embodiment of the present invention, the step of calculating the user comfort level of each user based on the user identity and the user information comprises: acquiring a first image and voice information of each user, wherein the first image is an image obtained by photographing a preset area in which the user moves; recognizing a first image, and determining the user posture and the user expression of each user; calculating an initial comfort level of each user based on the user posture, the user expression and the voice information; determining a feature coefficient of each user based on the user identity, wherein the feature coefficient is used for indicating the physical state of the user; and calculating the user comfort level of each user based on the initial comfort level of each user and the corresponding characteristic coefficient.
The first image can also be obtained by shooting through an image shooting device, and the voice information can be obtained by collecting through a sound collector; the gesture and expression of the user can be recognized by the first image, and the heat and cold felt by the user can be determined by the voice information, for example, if the user utters voices such as "too hot", "too cold", and the like, the initial comfort of the user can be calculated based on the voice information and the gesture and expression of the user.
When the actual comfort level of the user is calculated, the actual comfort level of the user can be calculated by combining the initial comfort level and the characteristic coefficients of all the users, and the characteristic coefficients are different due to the physical characteristics of different users, for example, when the user is identified as a male adult, the value of the characteristic coefficient is preferably 1; when the user is identified as a female adult, the preferred characteristic coefficient takes a value of 1.1; when the user is identified as the old person, the preferred characteristic coefficient takes a value of 1.3; when the user is identified to be an infant, the preferred characteristic coefficient takes a value of 1.4. Of course, the value of the characteristic coefficient may be a value determined by real-time adjustment based on a pre-acquired user body health state, a user current illness, a user age, and the like, and a specific value is not limited in the embodiment of the present invention.
Optionally, the calculating the user comfort level of each user further includes: receiving a user voice instruction; the comfort level of the user is determined based on the user voice command. That is, the user determines whether to adjust the control mode of the air conditioner through a voice command, in which case the user comfort level may be determined based on the voice command.
And S108, adjusting air outlet parameters of the air conditioner according to the user comfort level and the user position of each user.
In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the step of adjusting the air outlet parameter of the air conditioner according to the user comfort level and the user position of each user includes: when the number of the users is more than or equal to two, sequencing all the comfort levels of the users; sequentially comparing the sequenced user comfort levels with a preset comfort level threshold value; and adjusting the air outlet parameter of the air conditioner based on the comparison result.
In an embodiment of the present invention, the user comfort level may be defined as C.
Another optional, the air-out parameter includes at least: air-out direction and air output, when the air-out parameter is the air-out direction, based on the comparison result, the step of the air-out parameter of adjustment air conditioner includes: if the user comfort level of the user is larger than or equal to the preset comfort level threshold value, controlling the air outlet direction of the air conditioner to face the user; if the user comfort level of the user is lower than the preset comfort level threshold value, the air outlet direction of the air conditioner is controlled to avoid the user.
The preset comfort level threshold may be set according to the use environment of each air conditioner, for example, the preset comfort level threshold is set to be 0, if the detected user comfort level is greater than 0, it indicates that the user feels hot, and if the difference between the user comfort level and 0 is large (positive difference), it indicates that the user is hot; if the detected user comfort level is less than 0, it indicates that the user feels cold, and if the difference between the user comfort level and 0 is large (negative difference), it indicates that the user is cold.
Fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of an alternative air conditioner controlling the air outlet direction according to the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 2, the area includes 3 users (user 1, user 2, and user 3), after calculating the comfort levels of the three users and sorting, if the user comfort level C of user 1 is determined1> 0 (representing heat) and C1Is the maximum value (representing the hottest person among the plurality of users), C of user 33< 0 (indicating cold) and C3Is the minimum value (representing the coldest perceived person of the plurality of users), user 2's C2A value lying between them, and C2< 0, indicating that user 2 also felt slightly cold, but not coldest. Therefore, the air conditioner controls the air outlet direction to blow towards the user 1, and avoids the member users 2 and 3.
As an optional embodiment of the present invention, when the air outlet parameter is the air outlet volume, the step of adjusting the air outlet parameter of the air conditioner based on the comparison result includes: determining a comfort level value for each user comfort level; and adjusting the air output of the air conditioner corresponding to each user according to the comfort degree value of the comfort degree of each user.
FIG. 3 is a schematic diagram of an alternative air conditioner for controlling the direction of the outlet air according to the present invention, as shown in FIG. 3, the area also includes 3 users (user 1, user 2, and user 3), and the comfort of the three users is calculated (denoted by C)nRepresented) and after sorting, if the user comfort level C of the user 1 is determined1> 0 and C1Is the maximum value, C of user 33< 0 and C3Is the minimum value. At this time, if user 2C2A value lying between them, and C2If the temperature is higher than 0, the user 2 feels slight heat, but the temperature is not the hottest temperature, and at the moment, the air conditioner preferentially takes care of the user 1 while controlling blowing, and simultaneously, the user 2 can be taken into consideration and the user 3 can be avoided.
Through the embodiment, the comfort level of each user can be calculated based on the detected information such as the position, the identity and the number of the users in the area, the air outlet parameters of the air conditioner are adjusted based on the comfort level, the air conditioner is controlled more automatically and meets the real-time experience of the users, the use experience of the users for using the air conditioner is improved, and the satisfaction of the users is improved.
Example two

Initial comfort information of each member in the family and information of the position, age, sex, etc. of the human body can be detected based on the image sensor and the infrared sensor.
In step S403, the comfort level of each family member is calculated.
Optionally, after the home intelligent control mode is started, each member in the room can be identified, and the comfort level C of the member in the room is calculated. In calculating comfort specifically, a preset formula may be utilized: c ═ a (PMV), where PMV is the detected initial comfort level of the member and a is the family member characteristic coefficient.
The value of the characteristic coefficient a can be in the range of 0-2.5. For example, when a family member is identified as a male adult, a value of 1 is preferred; when the family member is identified as a female adult, the value is preferably 1.1; when the family member is identified as the elderly, the value is preferably 1.3; when the family member is identified as an infant, the value 1.4 is preferred.
In step S404, a comfort minimum and a comfort maximum are determined.
After the comfort level of the family member is obtained, the maximum comfort level max (C) is calculated1、C2…Cn) And a comfort minimum Min (C)1、C2…Cn)。C1=a1·PMV1;C2=a2·PMV2;Cn=an·PMVn. Wherein n represents a family member. Then the comfort levels C can be adjusted1、C2…CnAnd (6) sorting.
